Necessary Fiction

"I think everyone who read Vagabonds! is at least curious, if not downright excited, about whatever Eloghosa Osunde does next – and that next is here. Necessary Fiction takes readers into the hectic heart of Lagos and drops them into the lives of multiple queer characters looking for love, joy, freedom, and themselves while navigating their identity in a country where who they are can mean broken relationships and scorn. The lies these characters tell others are the tools that allow them to participate in everything the city has to offer, but these “necessary fictions” come at a price, and I can’t imagine anyone better to explore that price than Osunde."
